DESCRIPTION

18       "HTML::FormatText::Lynx" turns HTML into plain text using the "lynx"
19       program.
20
21           <http://lynx.isc.org/>
22
23       The module interface is compatible with formatters like
24       "HTML::FormatText", but all parsing etc is done by lynx.
25
26       See "HTML::FormatExternal" for the formatting functions and options,
27       all of which are supported by "HTML::FormatText::Lynx", with the
28       following caveats
29
30       "leftmargin", "rightmargin"
31           Prior to the "-nomargins" option of Lynx 2.8.6dev.12 (June 2005) an
32           additional 3 space margin is always applied within the requested
33           left and right positions.
34
35       "input_charset", "output_charset"
36           Note that "latin-1" etc is not accepted, it must be "iso-8859-1"
37           etc.
38
39           "output_charset" becomes the "-display_charset" option and can't be
40           used on very old "lynx" which doesn't have that option (eg. lynx
41           circa 2.8.1).  Perhaps in the future "output_charset" could be
42           dropped if it's already what will be output, or throw a Perl error
43           when unsupported.
44
45   Extra Options
46       "justify" (boolean)
47           If true then "-justify" is passed to lynx to have all lines in the
48           paragraph padded out with extra spaces to the given "rightmargin"
49           (or default right margin).
50
51       "unique_links" (boolean)
52           If true then "-unique_urls" is passed to have lynx give its link
53           footnotes just once for each distinct URL, re-used when the same
54           URL occurs more than once in the document.  This module option is
55           per HTML::FormatText::WithLinks.
